My "yay" moment finally arrived. Like that day you finally sell a boat.

Why is it a "Yay" moment? Curious...

Yep.. the 911 finally belongs to somebody else.

Although it had air conditioning and more power than my previous 911, I just never enjoyed it as much as I did the SC.

I put only 26,000 miles on it in the 5 years I owned it. Most of that was in the first 3 years. In the final year, I think I put around 200 miles on it.

A "Yay" moment because:
At some point you figure out that you have a depreciating asset (liability) that brings you no joy, and you are happy to get rid of that liability.
And because the funds can now be used on helicoptering!!

2001 Dodge Ram Cummins Race Truck - Caged Fury Photo & Image Gallery




Article:
http://www.trucktrend.com/cool-trucks/0808dp-2001-dodge-ram-cummins-race-truck/

Quote:
Photo 4/18 | The heart of Caged Fury is a 1,259hp Scheid-built roller motor. I just called up Dan Scheid and said I wanted to go real fast, Dennis said. I told him to build me an engine that would make 1,000 to 1,100 hp, and that wed do the rest. The engine features lowered-compression pistons with Cunningham rods, a Scheid turbo, and a Scheid pump. An air-to-water intercooler from Bell Turbo helps to keep exhaust gas temperatures down.

That is obviously a photoshop, the tail rotor is wrong!

Been rebuilding one of these.
